The sehool board dehires to purchase what is known as the Hartley property, which in- cludes an aere of land and a house. This would give a lage playground and the house could be s a kindergarten until a suitable sehodl building could be erected. On the West Side there is & very ur- gent need of a new school building, three of the scheols being full to everflowing. The sanitary conditions are not of the best and the education of the pupils Is Rindered by the congestion. At the Thamesville school there are 80 bupils in one room and the other three rooms are filled to capacity. At High street ‘there are two teachers for two grades located in one roofft At %lt. Pleasant street four gradés are on hal. time. two rooms with W6 teachers and two grades in each. This_condition is not fair to the teacher or seholar. The school board recom: mends (he purchase of what is known the Gray property, which is located op- posite the present Mt Pleasant street chool. It has a frontage on Benjamin place of 240 feet, 215 feet'on Elizabeth street and 269 feet on Meyers avenue. The lot is especially adapted for school locate verably located geographically, as it will take care of the whole West Bide seetion. The lot will cost §1,200. Bixteen Roem Balld We want a building that will satisty. We recommend a 16 room bullding with an auditorium. Each room to acconmo- date 40 pupils and the auditorium 700. If we could enter the building today 12 rooms would be occupied and then the other schools would atill be full. Can Norwich afferd not to do it? Money well spent is 1o expense as it will bring returns & hundred fold. J. B. Stanton, principal of Mt. Pleasant street school, spoke of the congested con- ditions that exist on the West Side. At Mr. Pleasant’ street there are fourteen teachers and only -eight rooms, at High street there are six teachers and four rooms and at Thamesville five teachers and four rooms. He also stated that changes had been m1de from time to time but it was impossible to reifeve the crowded conditions which did not tend to get the best results aloaz educational lires. He also reviewed the history of the school district and than explainel the Jocation of the new proposad-<chool. Cannot Get Best Results Now. Superintendent K. J. Graham cmpha- sized the necessity for ‘school bu saying that the present conditic detrimental to the best results in teach- ing. With two teachers teaching two different grades in the same room does not tend to get the best results. There are three slements in the education of young that are essential—study, play and work. Wok and play are just as needful as study. Forty or fiity years ago the child had lots of room to play and as for work they were taught in the home and the bays usually had access to shops. Today conditions have changed, there is no place to play and the work is not taught in the homes. These two es- sentials will be taken cae of in the new building. Thers will be manua] training and domestic selence and sewing and the playgrounds will be adequate for the phy- sical development of the child. Tnis new building_will mean economy and educa- tional efficiency. Mr. Graham also spoke of the benefit of the auditorium in the new bullding which would pomote class spirit, Americanization and-could be used as a Community Center. Plan of New Buildin; Robert McNeely, the next speaker, told of the propesed construction of the new building. He said that the committee had gone over several plans submitted by architects and that they had selected a 16 room building with a large auditorium. This building Wwould be of modern fire- proof type with a frontage on Elizabeth street. Thee would be two entrances, one for the girls and one for the boys. These entrances would lead into tfle floored cor- ridors. Opening from these corridors would be the demestic science and sewing rooms for the girls and the manual train- ing ana machine shop for the boys.” Go- ing down several steps there would be the auditorium, 42x75 feet, with the ceiling 16 feet from the floor. On'the next floor would be located the class rooms, each rogm to accommodate 40 pupils. The cor- ridors would be in tile and the stairs con- crete with the floors in the class rooms concrete covered with battleship linoleum or some other suitable floor covering. The exterior finish would be in selected brick with limestoue trimming and the interior finish would bé oak. The roof would be slato with copper flashings. In the rear there would be & platform and under this platform would be located the heating plant and the coal bunkers. Under the platform in the auditorium would be storage space for all the chalrs so that the floor could be cleared at any time for gymnastic exercises or any other things. He said that the building wen'd cost_approximately $175,000. When asked about fire escapes Mr. Me- Neely said that as the building was fire- proof and with a number of exits from the auditorfum and the two main exits he did not think them necessary but that as the building had to he approved by the state board of education they would take care of that, Financing the Proposftion. As to the financing of the matter Shep- herd B. Palmer said that his committee had come to the unanimous conclusion that at the present unsettled condition oest means would be the issuance of demand notes at the prevailing rates of interest. If the money market became settled long term bonds could be issued ur some other method of payment adopted. Before throwing the meeting open to discussion Mr, Lee asked Secretarv ORourke to read Mr. Warner's letter on- pesing the plan. The lotter was read and was the only opposing note of the meeting. Approval of Plan ‘When the meeting was thrown epen Guy B. Dolbeare was-the first one to ‘woice his sentiment in faver of the plan smying that while he never lived on the West Side or intended to he believed that the children of that section shoula be | given a new school for proper education of future citizens. T. C.

Brown said that no fair minded person could say that we do Rot nced schools. We turned down the Junior High school proposition but ‘we can not afforq to turn this down. It is no economy or wisdom 1o go along as we have been doing. Nelson Parker said that we owed it to the West Side children (o give them a proper building. He said he had a child in tHe Broad street school and that thé kindergarten had done wonders for her but that he would not think she would have progressed as rapidly had she been sent to the High strest school or Mt Pleasant where conditions were 80 con- gested. He said he was hgdrtily in favor of the plan. Gen. William A. Afken said that it was many years since his ehildren were of school age but that he had several reat andchildren and he would not want them to g0 to schodl so crowded as those discussed. He said that twe were considered ; first, the cost and second. s it now the right time to do it? We are not dealing Wwith these Questions alone, we are dealing -with Iife and death, mental déath as well as well as physical sickness resulting from the congested conditions, the welfare of those we love best. He sald he would vots for the earrying out of this pian that weuld put Norwich where it ought to be among the other cities in the state. Maurice Fitsgerald also spoke in faver of the plan saying that as he lived on the Weet Side and knew the conditions of the schools, he believed that mueh - better results conld be secured with the new building. He said he thought Norwich needed schools more than it did a white way. F. W. Wyant said that he favored a new school building, but what were we going to do_immediately to /relieve the conditions. He suggested that temporary arrangements should be mada for the re- lief of the schools while the new bu‘lding was being put up. > Dr. Joseph H. Seldan spoke in favor of the plan saying fhit.it was not a case of should we do it but a case of we must do it. It g an absolute neces- sity and we should do it an1 « lot mere.

This motion was unanimously. adopted. Charles A.
